Hey all, I'm really much leaning towards Georgia Military College for my post-high school life. I've heard they might have their own proprietary test used in admissions or placement. Anyone got any insights about that? What's the format and how can I prepare for it?
Indeed, in addition to the SAT or ACT scores, Georgia Military College (GMC) uses the ACCUPLACER Test for placement purposes, not for admissions. This test primarily serves to assess your math, reading, and writing skills to ensure you are placed in the proper classes when you start your studies.
The ACCUPLACER is a computerized test with three sections: Reading, Writing, and Math. The good thing is, there's no time limit, so you can take your time to carefully answer each question. However, remember that the test is adaptive, which means each response you give influences the next question. Correct answers will yield increasingly more challenging questions and, of course, vice versa.
To prepare, you may want to take advantage of the free ACCUPLACER study app provided by College Board, the test's creator. This app gives you access to practice questions and explanations for answers, allowing you to become prepared for the type of content on the exam. Working on your basic skills in these areas and doing plenty of practice questions is the best way to feel confident for the test.
Remember that your score doesn't determine whether you're admitted, but it does help the academic advisors at GMC to place you in the right classes. Best of luck in your journey towards attending Georgia Military College!
